I think us macro nuts have already overcome our fear subconsciously, overwhelmed by our love for photography.

See the spider (some as big as your palm) shots, bee shots, dragonfly shots posted by many forumners here, they are usually taken at typical distances of 10cm away.
I used to be a bit wary of bees, but somehow when I take photos of them, I forget my fear, just for that moment.
Any macro shooters experienced the same feeling too?
